error inserting sample data

I'm running the example command below after creating the matching organism and project.

drush load-genotypes sample_files/sample.vcf sample_files/samples.list --organism="Lens culinaris" --variant-type="SNP" --marker-type="genetic_marker" --project-name="My SNP Discovery Project" --ndgeolocation="here"

and get the following error:

I may be making a bad assumption with #33 that the example files are "good to go".

I dump the erroring value:

array(4) {
  'uniquename' =>
  string(38) "KP:GERM7951 Individual  Lens Culinaris"
  'type_id' =>
  NULL
  'organism_id' =>
  int(1)
  'name' =>
  string(7) "1048-8R"
}

so, this stock (germplasm?) needs a type, right? From samples.list... is this an argument i should be supplying with the command? should it be in the example file?

edit- oh i see, its not parsking the samples.list file correctly. the type should be Individual. Why isnt it parsing correctly?

edit- i manually re-parsed the input file, looks better, but i still have no type_id. i think this is because i dont have a term for "Individual" in my db. Should this be part of #35 ?

final edit- i replaced the "Individual" with a known term (mRNA) and still no loading...
